Windshield: Service and Repair
Removal

REMOVAL

The windshield is attached to the window frame (fence) with urethane adhesive. The urethane adhesive is applied cold and seals the surface area between
the window opening and the glass. The primer adheres the urethane adhesive to the windshield.

WARNING: Do not operate the vehicle within 24 hours of windshield installation. It takes at least 24 hours for urethane adhesive to cure. If it
is not cured, the windshield may not perform properly in an accident.

CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before installing the rear window to avoid pressurizing the passenger compartment if a door is
slammed before the urethane bonding is fully cured. Water leaks can result.

1. Remove the rear view mirror See: Body and Frame/Mirrors/Service and Repair/Rear View Mirror - Removal.
2. Remove the cowl grille See: Body and Frame/Cowl/Cowl Moulding / Trim.
3. Remove molding from the top of the windshield.
4. Using an assistant and a wire-type windshield cutting tool (1, 3 and 4), cut and separate the urethane adhesive (2) securing the windshield to the

windshield fence.

5. Carefully remove the windshield from the vehicle.
